Options

  1. A1680016800
  2. B3360033600
  3. C1800018000
  4. D1480014800

Correct answer

A. 1680016800

Step-by-step solution

There are 55 vowels in the given word which are 4E′s and 1I4E ' s \text{ and } 1I.

Since they have to always occur together we take them as a single object EEEEIEEEEI for the time being.

This single object together with 77 remaining object will account for 88 objects.

There 88 objects in which there are 3N′s and 2D′s3N ' s \text{ and } 2D ' s can be arrangement in 8!3!2!\dfrac{8 !}{3 ! 2 !} ways.

Corresponding to each of their arrangements the 55 vowels E,E,E,E and IE, E, E, E \text{ and } I which can be arranged in 5!4!\dfrac{5 !}{4 !}

Hence, required number of arrangements.

=8!3!2!×5!4!=16800= \dfrac{8 !}{3 ! 2 !} \times \dfrac{5 !}{4 !} = 16800

Hence this is the correct option.
